The Public Funds.

equal sum had been transferred here by drafts. 2d. The payment of interest to certain States, upon the difference between their quotas of the assumed Debt, and the sums subscribed upon the first Loan, has been suspended, in consequence of the opening of the second Loan, to avoid a double payment of interest, first to the States, and next to the subscribers, which might otherwise happen. 3d. There is a part of the Public Debt which has continued in a form that has not entitled the holders, under the existing laws, to receive interest, either as subscribers or non-subscribers.

There are certain arrears of interest, on the part of the Debt entitled to interest, which did not come into the accounts of the year 1792.

This balance of interest, however, will be a real future expenditure, as, indeed, will be the case with regard to most of the other balances of appropriations. There will be surplusses, but these surplusses cannot exceed, if they equal, the sum mentioned in my letter of the 4th instant, to the House of Representatives.

With perfect respect, I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Secretary of the Treasury. The VICE PRESIDENT of the United States and President of the Senate.
